Kilimanjaro time-lapse

I’ve had the chance to go out and capture a few time-lapse sequences of Kilimanjaro, usually at sunset, since that’s when it’s most often the clearest. So I put three of them together into a short video.

I’ll also take this opportunity to admit to a secret love of dreamy synth/electronic music – ever since I was a kid in the 80s and early 90s, when synthesizers were making their way into canned elevator music. In fact, I have a very distinct memory of swimming in the pool at my Grandma’s golf club in Arizona and hearing what we then called “New Age” music being piped out of the poolside speakers. I’m sure I had heard that style of music before, but maybe the setting was just right for it to find a place into my heart – bright sun, shimmering desert heat, cool water, navajo flute and electronic drum sequencer… can you blame me?

But I digress. All that is to say that I added some dreamy electronic music under this time-lapse video, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

I love your blog and felt compelled to reply. Someone else who shares (and admits) my love of the dreamy, tech music! I’ve been reading the blog since I got the link from Ken – great stuff. Thanks for sharing!

that’s awesome, Tracie! i’m glad we agree on the music. 🙂 and i’m glad you’ve been reading and enjoying my blog! we actually leave Moshi the middle of June to head back to the US – ah! it went so fast!
